99% of the tracking notifications are given to my family members. It’s hilarious that you can’t “join” a family members tag so it can be shared within the family.
- jedberg 5y agoAre you on a shared iCloud account? This never happens to my wife and I but we’re on the same iCloud family account.
- Judson 5y agoInteresting. Just one data point, but my wife and I both have airtags on our keys. When I drive her car (and she's not in it), I get a notification about her keys traveling with me. We're on the same iCloud "family" account. I wonder if there’s something else that needs to happen?
- hackmiester 5y agoI would reach out to Apple about that. It’s not supposed to work that way.
- oarsinsync 5y ago“Okay, so what we’re going to try and do here, is reset and erase, and not restore from iCloud backup, so we can rule out this being something in your profile.”
- jedberg 5y agoWhen you go into "Find My", can you see your wife's devices and keys?
- Judson 5y agoI see all her other devices, but not keys. Now that I know how it should work, going to see if re-registering the keys changes things.
- labcomputer 5y agoWhen you say "iCloud family account", do you mean you both log into the same account using the same credentials, or that you use "family sharing" to, e.g., share iCloud data, purchases, etc.?
- jedberg 5y agoNot the same credentials, the other one. I forget what they call it, but basically we pay one bill and share iCloud storage and apps between us.
- alkonaut 5y agoYes we have some kind of shared account or family/group, e.g. with shared iCloud storage and so on.
- hackmiester 5y agoBeing in an iCloud family does suppress the tracking notifications.
- asadlionpk 5y agoThat must be recent.
- jasongill 5y agoagreed - my wife and I still get alerts about each others keys being with us. I wish there was a way to actually see the location of other family member's AirTags, so that I can find my wife's keys with my device. It's annoying that we can see eachother's phones and Macs in the Find My app but can't see eachother's AirTags.
- throwaway932489 5y agoi.e. completely stop or just reduce? Because I was going to say it would make sense for the "threat model" to go beyond "traditional" stalking to domestic abuse etc.
- hackmiester 5y agoCompletely stop.
- coolspot 5y agoNot true, you will receive notifications as usual. You can choose to supress indefenitly. Source: have iCloud family with like 10 airtags.
- aczerepinski 5y agoI don’t think so. My wife and I are iCloud family and I still get alerts every time I drive the car without her. Of the four pack I bought one is useful for finding my keys, one is a PITA in our car, and two I never got around to using.
